All the swaps are running really slow. I think it's a combination of incubators full, people filling their Spring swaps, and everyone busy doing gardens and such. Generally your swaps are snatched up in nothing flat. Someone will come along.

How soon would you be able to send the eggs? I only ask because I am in Florida and we are getting in the 90's already

Mine on the guineas

Offered:

6+ Welsh Harlequin Ducks (Holderread Line)

These ducks are such sweeties, so calm and happy they don't run away from me but come to me instead (I am the food lady after all). The girls great year round layers and are giving me an egg a day - these are some of my best over-all producers! These ladies have also shown a tendency toward broodiness and I even successfully relocated a nest last year that the little miss stuck right to like glue. As they are also excellent meat birds, too many drakes is not a bad problem to have.



Or

6+ Black Cayuga Ducks (Holderread Line)
Outstandingly hardy, great foragers, and make excellent pets or meat (or both!) averaging 7-8 lbs live weight. These ducks aren't bothered a bit by the harsh winters of the northeast and the girls are good seasonal layers, giving me coal-black eggs early in the season which then fade to a dark grey-green. Mine haven't shown a strong desire to go broody so I usually stick the eggs under a broody Cochin.



Or

6+ White French Production Muscovy

This is a French improved breeding stock that produces birds 50% larger than our American Muscovy. Very quiet and calm, lay lots of nice big eggs Feb-Nov (then tend to go broody for winter), excellent foragers. Wonderful personalities for pets: boys are super sweethearts; girls are docile... also the best broodies & mamas! (35 day incubation). For meat production, drakes usually attain a live weight of 12 pounds in 12 weeks. My typical dressed weights: Hens 3.5- 4.5 lb. and drakes 8 - 10 lb. (most dress at 9 lbs). High in meat-to-bone ratio, with less weight loss after cooking than Pekin ducks. (I have 13 multigenerational girls covered by 2 drakes; mama's regularly hatch out 12-18 babies!)




Or

6+ Sex-Linked Tuxedo Dux Ships in July
Our Tuxedo Dux are very attractive and distinctive with their solid plumage and white bib that creates a striking tuxedo pattern. They're relatively calm, great foragers, and produce a quality roasting duck. Drakes will weigh, on average, 7 pounds with hens 6 pounds, and will lay mostly white eggs but occasionally you'll get a girl who lays blue or gray tinted eggs. Males will express with black colored down and females will be either lilac or chocolate (they do not retain this sex-linked characteristic in future generations).



Or

8+ Red Star Sex-link chickens (sorry, no pics right now)

 

[FarmrGirl]

for all eggs except the Tuxedo Dux I can send middle of next week.

The only reason they sat that long was because I was gone all day yesterday and today.
